OwlTail

Today’s guest is Ernie Baca - the host of the YouTube channel “Retired Life in Mexico NO BULL”  - who came on a few weeks ago in episode 246 to talk about his experiences living in Mexico and beating cancer in Mexico. If you haven't heard that episode, I highly suggest you go back and listen. It was unbelievable.   Today Ernie is back to talk a bit about his work in law enforcement, specifically in Latin America, and some of the safety concerns, tips and tricks, and anything to do with safety and security in Latin America.    TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH ERNIE BACA  Listen to Ernie detail his extensive background in law enforcement, including working on HUGE cases that you’ve absolutely heard of, including John Gotti and Timothy McVeigh! Ernie explains what he means by the phrase “security is an illusion” - and how you can use that knowledge to understand your own security situation better. Hear Ernie unveils his security philosophy of mitigating risk. How can you find the balance to understand the reality of the situation best and assess your personal security situation?  Ernie describes how obtaining only partial information, whether from national news - or, in Ernie’s case, security reports - can lead to a skewed view of the security situation in a given area.  Ernie and I discuss the concept of situational awareness - how to use your knowledge and the knowledge of others to assess the level of security you need in any given time and place.  Ernie lays out some very simple rules for travelling, using the examples of Mexico and Brazil. Follow these tips, and you will more than likely be safe and sound wherever you go. Ernie and I discuss more of the little steps we take to “stack” security in our lives and turn situational awareness into a habit. Ultimately, it all comes down to taking personal responsibility. Ernie and I trade personal stories about various security-related situations and how situational awareness - or lack thereof - drastically altered the course of events. Ernie also reveals his ultimate trick for avoiding a bad situation - learning to trust your instinct. Learn from one of the absolute best in this episode.

249: How Safe Is Latin America? – Ernie Baca

Today's guest is Ernie Baca, a retired law enforcement professional with a distinguished career spanning 30 years. During his tenure with the United States Marshals Service, he was part of high-profile cases such as the Trials of John Gotti, the World Trade Center Bombers, and Timothy McVey.  Upon retiring at the age of 52, he moved to Mexico and fell in love with San Miguel de Allende, where he initially settled before moving to Monterrey. He now serves the Expat community by sharing his experiences of moving, living, and travelling to Mexico through his well-known YouTube Channel, "Retired Life in Mexico NO BULL."TODAY'S CONVERSATION WITH ERNIE BACA  Listen to Ernie detail his backstory in various U.S. federal law enforcement agencies, leading him to find and fall in love with Latin America. Ernie details why he ended up moving to Mexico "by accident" upon retiring at the age of 52.  Hear Ernie describe the U.S. doctor's visit that awakened him to the idea that, perhaps, U.S. health care isn't the greatest in the world after all.  Your jaw will drop as you hear the nightmare of red tape and bureaucratic boondoggles Ernie had to manage to try to deal with U.S. health insurance companies.  Learn how Ernie's healthcare woes led to his wife suggesting the crazy idea of trying a doctor in Mexico. Ernie describes his absolute amazement at the rapid and excellent service he received in Mexico, getting the MRI he spent months trying to get in the U.S. the next day in Mexico at a fraction of the cost.  You will be floored to learn about the incredibly high level of treatment Ernie received all along the process of diagnosing and treating his cancer in Mexico.  Hear the inspiring perspective that beating cancer gave to Ernie and how it has propelled his new lease on life as he continues to enjoy the retired life in Mexico, cancer-free.

I legitimately got shivers up my spine during certain parts of his harrowing journey dealing with cancer. But Ernie's story is an excellent example of what I am always driving home to my listeners - there are almost always superior, more affordable options overseas, even when it comes to saving your own life.

246: Beating Cancer In Mexico – Ernie Baca

It has been a while since I did a show on Mexican immigration, but so much has changed, which I have personally been affected by.  So on this episode, I'm joined with my friend Ernie Baca to talk about what has changed in regards to Mexican immigration, changes in financial solvency requirements, getting appointments, the airports, etc.
